    Re: Magic sports question

    Or better still after 9 say you were not going to race again then let them bribe you to do "just 1 more!"

      Re: Magic sports question

      Given this too much thought and I can't think of one where 10 games is enough to get you earning anything decent unless you could work on contacts, some social media presence beforehand.

      So I'd choose football just for the enjoyment of being by far the best player on the pitch. A combination of ronaldinho and Messi taking the piss. I'd at least set up a YouTube channel to document the journey and perhaps it would get me some attention before the 10 games or someone breaks my leg.

        How long is a game of poker? One hand? Or one session?

          one session I guess.
          being the best poker player in the world does not guarantee winning though

            It doesn't say whether you can show this brilliance in training or practice before your first game. This, I reckon, is where football wins. If you can, you can go around from club to club begging for opportunities. Go to a big, big club. Spin some yarn, demonstrate serious skills. They'll look at you. Be amazing in training. They ask you to come back as you're that good. You start training with them. You keep being amazing. You play a couple of friendlies. You're awesome. Get signed up on a long term contract. Play 8 games where you're a world beater. Job done.

              It's come up a few times already. You can't just decide to be an F1 driver, even if you drive like peak Schumacher. You've only got the ability 10 times.

                It's got to be golf. Win the UK amateur championship gets you a wildcard into the British open. Win that as an amateur and then turn pro, win 8 majors and live happily ever after.

                  Thinking about it, F1 might be the worst. Even if you get a drive and it goes well, what happens after your ability goes?

                  If you decide to drive, you'll never qualify for another race, and may even kill yourself or someone else while trying. And if you refuse to race, their lawyers will bankrupt you.

                      It would take 4 days to win each tournament. You wouldn't even have the time to establish yourself to qualify for the Amateur Championship.

                      Even if you were already good enough to get into UK Amateur, the most you could hope for is to win the British Open and then fall spectacularly from the top of the leaderboard on day 3 of your next tournament

                        10 wins not 10 days

                          Amazing how in depth this thread has gone. Analysed to the nth degree, posters contradicted & corrected, detailed explanations of how one would go about it & dodge the rules & pitfalls (me included). It’s a wizard giving magic powers, it’s like ripping a Grimm’s fairy tale to bits claiming it’s too far fetched.:hehe:

                            It did happen, Ali Dia, anyone remember him :hehe:

                            Ali Dia has became infamous in world football after making one league appearance for Southampton way back in 1996 after a fake phone call to Graeme Souness secured him a deal at the club

                              Lardy, think you're taking this far too seriously.

                              In any case, I would retire after my 10th race lol

                                the rules are starting from where you are today, you can become the best in the world at a chosen sport for the next 10 times you compete in it.
                                So unless you already have a seat at an F1 team ( and one of the best ones at that) then it isn't going to do you much good.
